Observation of electromagnetically induced Talbot effect in an atomic system
Observation of electromagnetically induced Talbot effect in an atomic system
We experimentally demonstrate the Talbot effect resulting from the repeated self-reconstruction of a spatially intensity-modulated probe field under the Fresnel near-field regime. By launching the probe beam into an optically induced atomic lattice (established by interfering two coupling fields) inside a rubidium vapor cell, we can obtain an diffracted probe …
